Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Anemone sylvestris</i> L. 1753 (Ranunculaceae)

<i>Anemone sylvestris</i> Linnaeus (1753) is a species in the Ranunculaceae family within the genus <i>Anemone</i>. It is mainly distributed in China, Croatia, and Poland. The chloroplast genome has a total length of 161,033 bp, comprising a large single-copy region of 81,144 bp, a small single-copy region of 17,393 bp, and two inverted repeat regions of 31,248 bp each. The GC content is 37.54%. A total of 134 genes were annotated, including 90 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method robustly supported the close relationship of <i>A. sylvestris</i> with other <i>Anemone</i> species, namely <i>A. raddeana</i>, <i>A. reflexa</i>, and <i>A. altaica</i>, forming a well-defined monophyletic clade. The complete chloroplast genome of <i>A. sylvestris</i> reported here provides a useful resource for subsequent phylogenetic, identification, and resource related studies.
